This programme has been developed and is delivered in conjunction with the College of Policing (COP) for both fire investigators and forensic investigators. This is a blended programme, consisting of internet based pre-course study (25 hours), followed by a a one-week practical course.
The course provides delegates with the underpinning knowledge and understanding required for the role of a fire investigator and develops their investigative skills as a fire/crime scene investigator.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the programme, delegates will be able to:
Members of the UK and overseas fire services, police officers, scenes of crime officers and forensic investigators, members of other agencies who may have a role in fire investigation. Course Entry Criteria Delegates should be working in the field of fire/crime scene investigations, with sound operational experience and who may be expected to be called upon to undertake fire investigations involving fatalities, serious injuries or major financial losses which have the potential to become the subject of legal proceedings. Delegates should also possess a good command of English.
The module is highly practical and includes a number of incident ground exercises, fire scene examination and syndicate work. In short, it provides delegates with an opportunity to practise real skills in realistic fire scenarios, whilst receiving expert guidance and feedback. The experience and skills gained will be invaluable in ensuring that their individual Service has a robust level of competency in terms of fire investigation.
Progress through the e-learning programme is regularly checked using 'Knowledge Check' screens. In addition, successful completion of the programme is assessed via an online 'What Have You Learnt' test covering all the learning objectives. Delegates are assessed carrying out their investigation, and a presentation as part of a multi-agency team, by observation and questioning, and reports are subsequently created on their performance.
This course is accredited by the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) at level 5.
